The shell command screencapture has a parameter "m" that says you only
want to capture the main monitor.
What happens if you leave this out
e.g. get shell("/usr/sbin/screencapture ~/Desktop/Screenshot.png")

I only have one monitor set up here, so cannot test this.

Or using System Events & AppleScript, you can simulate the keystrokes,
like this:
tell application "System Events"
	keystroke "#" using {command down, shift down}
end tell

(The keystroke character in the quotes should be whatever you get when
you type Shift-3.)

HTH,
